| - I've lived here for a year and I'm staying in the complex because it beats all my other options.
Roosevelt Square definitely has its downsides--utilities were a lot more than I expected, especially in the summer. Be careful when choosing an apartment, especially if there are a lot of floor to ceiling windows. It's also a little pricier than other apartment complexes in the area, but time is money; with a gym, Pita Jungle, two local coffee shops, and the light rail within a hop, skip, and a jump away, it's completely worth it. I was disappointed with the pool--it's always cold and there is no jacuzzi. I never use it.
Those things being said, it's easy to feel unsafe in downtown. Roosevelt Square is one of the few apartments that I can say I have always felt safe in. There is a decent amount of security and the Phoenix police have a station in one of the buildings. The condos, church, and surrounding area make it nice and secure-feeling, and hey, it's all about confidence right?
Any time something has broken, the management has been pretty good about getting someone up to fix it within a couple of days. Not many complaints there.
I live in the "B" building which is definitely the quietest from what I've heard. I'm a college student but I heard most of them live in the "C" wing, while the "A" wing is near the light rail and public parking (popular among downtown Phoenix bar-goers).
The location is AMAZING. I can't imagine picking a better one. I live close to school and close to all my favorite local hot spots. I can bike, walk, or light rail virtually anywhere I want to go. I love that, and like I said, time is money.
